I was slightly annoyed at Anima… ok, I was extremely annoyed at Anima. Why did she have to make me sit next to Tall, Blonde, and Stupid? It frustrated me. Jesse occasionally said something to me, but I suspected it was only because his date was paying no attention to him.
For that matter, neither was mine.
The hold Jira seemed to have on Shyam mystified me. What on earth could he find interesting about her? She was so typical.Tanned, bleach-blonde hair, preppy clothes, and a way too sun-shiny attitude.
I watched as she twirled her hair around her finger and giggled at something Shyam had said. I turned away in disgust.
Anima nudged me. “What?” I growled.
“Talk to him,” she hissed, “he isn’t having any more fun then you are.”
I glanced over at Jesse. He was staring off into space and absent-mindedly fiddling with his napkin. I scowled at her, “No.”
She rolled her eyes, “Oh, honestly, how often are you going to get an opportunity like this?”
“Opportunity?” I snorted, but I gave in. “Fine,” I muttered.
